Australia Cruises

Explore the Land Down Under

Crowned as the largest country in Oceania and the world’s flattest land mass, Australia is the only country on Earth to occupy an entire continent, providing plenty for every kind of traveller. Australia’s land features are best characterised as gentle and regular, with sloping plains and, with the exception of Sydney Harbour, a smooth coastline with few inlets or bays. Take the ultimate Australia cruise and see the country’s endless wonders for yourself… 

Filled with beaches, buildings and barbecues, Sydney is a city not to be missed — Australia’s oldest city and one of the most ethnically diverse cities on the globe. It’s home to some of the most famous beaches in the country, including Bondi Beach and Shelly Beach. Tanned and fed, the sights are left to be seen. The Sydney Harbour is a spectacular image that colloquially represents the vibrant city. Sydney’s Opera House is another icon, particularly impressive at sunset, and if you want a particularly special view, make sure to view it from the Harbour Bridge. The focal point in the scenic city of Cairns is the UNESCO-listed Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system. Melbourne is another glorious getaway, boasting Western heritage, primarily through the ornate Victorian architecture. And if you have spare time, why not travel all the way to Red Centre in the Northern Territory to admire the dusty red sand dunes and the ever-changing colours of landscapes?

Whether you’re a nature lover, wildlife and marine enthusiast, a wine-taster, or something else entirely, Australia has so much to offer. Be bold, be brave and go down under for an adventure of a lifetime!

Australia Cruise Highlights

Great Barrier Reef

Cairns is the gateway to the most extensive coral reef system in the world — The Great Barrier Reef! This UNESCO World Heritage Site stretches 1,500 miles along the coast of Queensland and is home to extraordinary underwater life, including colourful corals and over 1,500 species of fish. Don your snorkel and get the chance to swim with sea turtles, tropical fish, dugong (sea cow) and more, as well as marvel at the diverse corals of every imaginable colour. These marine wonders are worth also viewing from a submarine or a glass-bottomed boat.

Sydney Harbour

Considered one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Southern Hemisphere, Sydney offers just about everything you could wish for — from famous beaches and wineries, to remarkable landmarks and world-class shopping. Sydney Harbour is the city’s crown jewel and Australia’s busiest waterway, welcoming thousands of recreational, passenger and working ships each year. Cruising under the Sydney Harbour Bridge will take your breath away, as you pass the iconic Sydney Opera House and soak in the unforgettable sights and scenic sunsets!

Red Centre

If you have enough time to spend in Australia,  Immerse yourself in the Aboriginal culture, experience sand and desert adventures and be wowed by the changing colours of Uluru in the Red Centre. The huge outback region in the Northern Territory comprises the remote town of Alice Springs, the UNESCO-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and the Kings Canyon. Be sure to snap a photo of the awe-inspiring Uluru rock or Ayers Rock — a striking sandstone monolith looming over the national park as a centrepiece and considered sacred to the local Anangu people.

Natural Wonders

Natural Wonders

On an Australia cruise, appreciate the Great Southern Land’s natural wonders — from getting up close and personal with playful kangaroos and the unique marine life to admiring the rugged mountains in Sydney and living your tropical dreams on the idyllic islands of Queensland! Reconnect with nature as you explore Australia’s great outdoors and stunning natural treasures. Experience Australia like a local as you venture into these top nature spots:

 

  • Great Barrier Reef. Priding itself as the world’s biggest coral reef system, the Great Barrier Reef is home to around 400 different types of coral and 1,500 species of fish.

  • Daintree Rainforest. The vast expanse of leafy wonderland is believed to be one of the world's oldest tropical lowland rainforests, filled with dense palm trees, gorgeous falls, crystal-clear streams and a thriving wildlife.

  • Kangaroo Island. Spot and meet with native fauna, including koalas, kangaroos birds, wallabies and sea lions, in this wildlife paradise off the coast of South Australia. 

Things to Do in Australia

Stroll along Melbourne’s hip laneways

Melbourne is a hipster haven with hip alleyways steeped with Victorian architecture, world-class street art, vibrant coffee scene and sports heritage. The city is rife with lush gardens and scenic parks, and home to an inspiring collection of museums and beautifully-preserved colonial buildings. It’s also one of the world’s refined culinary capitals, offering a plethora of unrivalled dining experiences for those who appreciate their fine food and wine. Discover the ever-changing art adorning the walls in Union Lane, grab a flat white coffee in Rankins Lane or simply wander around the famous Degraves street.

Sail around the Whitsundays

Go on an idyllic island-hopping adventure across some of the 74 Whitsunday Islands lying between the coast of Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef. This breathtaking cluster of islands, most uninhabited, is dubbed the Maldives of Oceania — packed with a bountiful mix of lush rainforests, white-sand beaches and diverse marine life. Airlie Beach is one of the most picturesque gateways to the Whitsundats region, home to the Bredl’s Wild Farm where you can cuddle a koala or the Whitehaven Beach where you can enjoy ocean rafting or simply relax and unwind.

See the Three Sisters

Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Blue Mountains boast dramatic sceneries at every turn and are characterised by steep cliffs, soaring sandstone ridges blanketed by verdant greenery, majestic waterfalls, quaint towns and villages and a notable Aboriginal rock formation. One of its main claims to fame is the Three Sisters, a storied natural landmark that represents the three sisters who are believed to have turned into stones, according to Aboriginal dreamtime stories. Catch the golden sunsets and the uninterrupted views of the Three Sisters from Echo Point!
